Marshawn's 20 bucks Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 (edited) " would be about the same as when we brought Bledsoe in .." Couldn't agree more. Maybe we try for a QB in the first or second, keep Fitz, and hope the guy we get is a Kapernick or (please God) Rodgers type of development guy. I think going after a veteran QB you need to try to find value like a Rich Gannon (or please God) Kurt Warner type of guy who "figures it out" in his late 20s or early 30s. There aren't many guys like that and Fitz might be the closest to it in the league currently.

BillnutinHouston Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Stats aside, I can't stand Rivers' throwing motion. If I had to watch that for 16 weeks a year I'd vomit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ganesh Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Rivers isn't going anywhere. For whatever faults he may have he's still a very solid QB. They've had a lot of issues with their O-line this year, and Gates is their only real offensive weapon, and he always seems to be dealing with nagging injuries. Basically, Rivers is better than whoever they could replace him with. Completely agree. The loss of Vincent Jackson also hurts them very badly. And they are yet to get a replacement at RB. If Rivers plays behind our OL, he can throw that deep ball unlike Fitzpatrick. I definitely would treat him as an upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorkington Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 The only two options at this point are Fitzpatrick, or a draft pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Senator Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 He also looks a bit like an emu. I know that certain species of the wild emu are all-but-extinct, and others endangered, but what ever happened to Jimmy, anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewEra Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 http://espn.go.com/n...12/seasontype/2 So far Rivers is having a nearly identical season to Fitz statistically. except that he currently leads the NFL in interceptions. Also consider how often starting QBs change teams and have more success with their new team. Hint: Not often. So why do we want him? PTR Because he can throw the deep all much better, which instantly opens up our offense. I'd take rivers over fitz in a heartbeat. He's a much better QB, that has zero running game on his current team. Ryan Matthews, Ronnie brown and the chargers OLine is 2nd rate compared to our version.

San Jose Bills Fan Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 I know that certain species of the wild emu are all-but-extinct, and others endangered, but what ever happened to Jimmy, anyway? He's the 3rd string quarterback in Carolina behind Cam Newton and Derek Anderson. In other words, he's on the endangered species list and will soon be going the way of the dodo and the passenger pigeon. BTW Senator, health and happiness to you on this Thanksgiving Holidays. All our best to you and yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
